US vs. Slovenia: Player Ratings for Jurgen Klinsmann and Co.

On a fog-drenched night that looked like it belonged more in a Sherlock Holmes novel than a soccer stadium, the United States won 3-2 over Slovenia in dramatic fashion.

It was the Americans' first win in Europe in three years, and there was a lot for fans back in the States to be encouraged with.

If the first half is any indication of where head coach Jurgen Klinsmann is taking this team, the US should be a force to be reckoned with in World Cup qualifying. There was an incredible amount of offense from what has been a lackluster team so far.

The second half, however, was filled with mistakes and sloppy play from inexperienced players like Brek Shea and Timothy Chandler. The United States needed to manage the game better in the final 25 minutes and shut down the Slovenians, but they did not.

So how did each player do in Slovenia on Tuesday night? Check out the ratings and let me know if you agree.

Midfielders

Didn't support the center of the defense very well and was out of position on several Slovenian possessions. Seemed a little lost for most of the game.

Michael Bradley: 8.0

Bradley played his best soccer of the Klinsmann era, feeding the ball on several attacks in tight windows.

His corner kick that set up Clint Dempsey's 41st minute goal was a thing a beauty, taking advantage of a Slovenian defense that was taking too long to mark up.

Fabian Johnson: 7.0

Had some very good assists on shots that went wide and a couple of shots on goal from the left side of the midfield before being taken out in the 62nd minute. Played the role of attacking midfielder in a very physical way.

Clint Dempsey: 9.0

Dempsey typified the attitude of all Yanks in the game. He was eager to move up and press the Slovenian defense and had five shots on the day, including a header in the 41st minute off of Bradley corner.

His footwork was masterful and he made players around him look and play better. Exactly what Klinsmann wanted out of the most experienced player on the roster.

Brek Shea (sub): 5.0

Was hot and cold in his half-hour of play. Looked out of position and short-legged some passes, but fired away when he had a shot.
